PREAMBLE km CONSTITUTION. 



At a meeting held Marcli 6tli, 1861, in the city of 
New York, a number of gentlemen having conferred 
together respecting the present state of our country, 
unanimously agreed upon an organized effort, irrespec- 
tive of all sectional or political action, for the purpose 
of removing the causes of difference, and producing 
unity of sentiment and fi-aternal affection throughout 
the nation. Theii' views are briefly indicated in the 
following 

PROGRAMME. 

The causes which have led to the divided and 
unhappy state of our country, are found in the neglect 
and abuse of our free institutions. Citizens of good 
intentions, but averse to politics and absorbed in their 
personal callings, have in a great measure left to vision- 
ary reformers the creation of that popular sentiment, 
by which, in a free government, ambitious and unsafe 
persons attain to places of power. While men have 
slept, the enemy has sowed tares. We have thus pain- 
fully learned by experience, that a government like 
ours must not be left to reformers and politicians, the 



one incompetent to reconstruct what the other destroys, 
but demands the vigilant watch and care of its intelli- 
gent and loyal subjects. 

The popular declaration that all men are created 
equal and entitled to liberty, intended to embody the 
sentiment of our ancestors respecting the doctrine of the 
divine right of kings and nobles, and perhaps also the 
more doubtful sentiment of the French school, may be 
understood to indicate both a sublime truth and a per- 
nicious error. Men are created equally free to do the 
will of God, and will be equally rewarded by Him 
according to their deeds. But they are not created 
equal in personal endowments, nor in their relation to 
providential arrangements. Indeed, their inequality in 
these resj^ects is one of the boldest and most stubborn 
facts on the records of all time ; and moreover, the 
Scriptures declare, that it exists for wise and good 
ends by the tvill of God, as truly as the inequalities be- 
tween the sands of earth and the stars of heaven. It 
is by confounding the providential with the moral, 
instead of regarding the former as means w^isely em- 
ployed for the latter, that men become infidel and radical 
in their schemes of reformation. Restive and impa- 
tient, they neglect the essential duties of submission — of 
love, trust, obedience, under all providential dispensa- 
tions — and vainly strive to alter or amend the ways of 
Providence. Hence, their dreams of abolitionism, of 
woman's rights, of free-love, of spiritualism, of socialism, 
of agrarianism, and of all similar visionary schemes, in 
which they lose sight of their own moral and essential 
duties, in their zeal to do what God has reserved for 
Himself, and vainly think to inaugurate a millenium 
of bliss, by their imaginary reign of liberty and equal- 
ity. It is not claimed that every person who espouses 



one of these scliemes actually embraces tliem all, but 
as they all belong to tlie same category, logical con- 
sistency must admit or reject tbem all alike. 

Teacliings of this sort, especially as related to ab- 
olitionism, have been extending and gaining favor 
among us for many years. Tbey have been seldom 
rebuked, because deemed feeble and harmless. But 
they have increased by indulgence. They have been 
disseminated in books and pamphlets, taught in our 
schools, reiterated in the daily and weekly issues of 
the press, listened to and applauded in popular lec- 
tures ; they have often entered the pulpit, and made the 
dogmas of human rights and liberties take precedence 
of repentance and faith as the staple of Gospel ministra- 
tions. They have l^een wrought into the fascinations of 
poetry ; they have been set to music and have furnished 
the entertainment of itinerating minstrelsies and musical 
concerts; they have floated wildly on the breezes of 
heaven, and been made to sigh in sentimental strains 
around the evening hearth-stone. They have thus made 
stirring appeals to human passions, have perverted truth 
and disguised facts, have falsely wrought with the sym- 
pathies of the w^eak, the consciences of the unenlight- 
ened, the arrogance of the vain. They have made their 
subjects slow to obey and quick to rebel, stul^born and 
contentious for ricjhts, but remiss in duties and sacrifices 
for the general welfare. 

Men thus taught, regardless of their own sins and 
duties, in their anxious wailings over the sins of others 
and the ways of Providence, become ready victims 
of cunning demagogues, who, j^romising by an' easy 
method to relieve their consciences and consummate 
their desires, with " good words and fair speeches de- 
ceive the hearts of the simple." In this way a dreamy 



6 

hallucination and false sentiment have been extensively 
produced, and a feeling of hostility between the North 
and the South engendered, which threatens a final disso- 
lution of the Federal Union. 

We believe that the time has come, when such 
evil teachings should be firmly and boldly confronted, 
not by the antagonism of doubtful and perishable 
weapons, but " by the Word of God which liveth and 
abideth forever," as expounded by a broad and faith- 
ful recognition of His moral and providential govern- 
ment over the world. It is with this view that we 
propose an organized effort, and commend it to the 
earnest cooperation of all good and true citizens in 
every section of our country. We disclaim hostility 
toward, and connection with, any existing political 
party. Our common country, our ivliole country, is our 
field ; we believe that it still has multitudes of fi'iends, 
strong and true at heart, in all sections and parties. 
We cordially invite all such, to unite with us in en- 
deavors to disseminate sound and wholesome teach- 
ings, to conciliate differences and restore peace and har- 
mony ; gathering around the acknowledged standard of 
truth and the bulwark of our national liberties. 

Our attention will not be confined to Slavery, but 
this will be at 2:)resent our main topic. Fom' millions 
of immortal beings, incapable of self care and indisj^osed 
to industry and foresight, are providentially committed 
to the hands of our Southern friends. This stupendous 
trust they cannot put from them if they would. Eman- 
cipation, were it possil^le, would be rebellion against 
Providence, and destruction to the colored race in our 
laud. We at the North rid ourselves of no responsi- 
l>ililv by assuming an attitude of hostility to Slavery, 
and thus sundering the bonds of state-fellowship; we 



\ 



only put it out of our power to clo tlie good wliicli both 
liumanity and religion demand. Should we not rather 
recognize the providence of God, in His placing such a 
vast multitude of the degraded and dependent sons of 
Africa in this favored land, and cheerfully cooj^erate, 
by all needful labors and sacrifices, with His benevo- 
lent design to save, and not to destroy them ? Under 
a providential dispensation, lifting them up from the 
degradation and miseries of indolence and vice, and 
exacting of them due and needful labor, they can 
certainly be trained and nurtured, as many have been, 
for the services and joys of heaven ; and if the climate 
and institutions of the South are such that our fellow- 
citizens there can afford to take the onerous care of 
them, iu return for theii* services, should Ave not gladly 
consent ? They freely concede to us our conscientious 
convictions, our rights, and all our privileges ; should 
we not as freely concede to them theirs ? Why should 
we contend ? Why paralyze business, turn thousands 
of the industrious and worthy poor out of em]3loyment, 
sunder the last ties of affection that can bind these 
States together, destroy our once prosperous and happy 
nation, and perhaps send multitudes to premature graves, 
— and all for what ? Is not such a course a struggle of 
arrogant assumption against the providence of the Most 
High ; and if persisted in, will it not surely bring down 
His heaA^y and prolonged judgments M'poii us ? 

It is not for us to accuse our fellow-citizens at the 
South of failure in duty. We know that the church 
of God has no brighter ornaments, and our country 
no truer friends, than are found among them ; and be- 
fore we at the North sit in judgment upon their delin- 
quencies, let us endeavor to correct our own. In 
treating their slaves as humanity and religion de- 



8 

mand, they may be providential instruments of un- 
speakable and endless blessings, not only to those under 
their personal charge, but eventually to the whole 
African race. And such, we have not a doubt, they 
are destined to be ; without us, and to our shame, 
if they are forever separated from us by any fault of 
ours ; but with us, and to our mutual honoi', if we 
shall be united with them in the bonds of an affection- 
ate brotherhood. That so we may be, we will labor in 
hope. We will endeavor to diffuse over the entire 
length and breadth of the land, sentiments favorable to 
the lasting peace and prosperity of our nation. 

With these views and motives, we now organize 
ourselves into a Society, adopting the following 



CONSTITUTION. 

Article I. — ^This Association shall be called the 
Ajierican Society foe, Promoting National Unity.
